AltoLab training is particularly well-suited for boxing to improve aerobic
conditioning and to become acclimated to fighting at high altitude venues such as Lake Tahoe, Mexico City, Denver and Albuquerque. It typically takes at least 3 weeks of training at high altitude camps to get acclimated to the rigors of thin air. However, this is usually accompanied by a significant loss of weight and muscle mass that is unacceptable to fighters. With AltoLab fighters can train at their home base during the day and do AltoLab sessions during the evening to get acclimated to altitude, regardless of where they live. AltoLab trained fighters notice that they
can keep their hands up and stay alert in late rounds. "It definitely makes a difference" says Rick Noble, trainer of Carina Moreno, the current woman's World 105 lb. Champ. "Her recovery between rounds has improved since using the 'Lab. It doesn't substitute for conventional training, but it puts us over the top. Something she didn't have before." |
